Looking for: Gravel bike big tyre clearance 60mm/2.35i

[Ossip]

Hi Guys,

planning to build a new gravel bike, wich i also can use as beach racer with 2.35inch tyres
for now the only bike wich is cappable of that should be the 3T exploro Racemax.

do you guys know frames with such a huge tyreclearance?

Greetings Ossip

Hi.
I recently built a frame that can install 29x2.4 tires. I couldn't find it in a carbon frame so I built it in titanium. Boost standard + BB shell width is 73mm.

I usually use it for forest road riding and plan to use it for beach racing!
For your information.

Why not using a 29er + carbon fork with short reach and kinda-outdated geometry? (They usually come with 70-ish degree steerer, which may be suited for the task).

E.g. lexon reverse.

It is possible, but I prefer a gravel bike for Geo and Aero.

but i will take a look in to Lexon
thanks

The geometry of something like you want would be something really similar to what already exists in the 29er department. Chainstay will be longer like in a 29er and so. If anything, you could play a bit with reach (which in modern gravel frames is rapidly approaching that of a 2015-2020 29er), a bit lower stack (you can just run a slammed stem with maybe even more negative -17 deg angle to achieve that).

I don't know, that is what I would honestly do. You can just save yourself a lot of headaches. And particularly if running shimano you can just use PM mtb calipers and they should work just fine with the grx brifters.
